Demi Lovato Diet and Nutrition

“I don’t eat anything if it doesn’t grow or if it doesn’t walk,” she said, emphasizing her draw to natural, whole foods and a squeaky clean diet. “No processed foods, and not really any refined sugar or flour, but I sometimes treat myself!”

Which is followed up with:

The treats in question? Chocolate and cashews. “I like cashew butter — anything with cashews! Cashew milk . . . [and] dark chocolate is really helpful when you have a sweet tooth. I don’t eat out at restaurants; I have a nutritionist chef full time so I eat at my house and on the road.”

We love all of that!

Not only do we preach clean eating because we know how nutrient dense foods treat our body, but we also promote sustainable diets and know it’s always okay to be human.

DL: A turkey patty in a lettuce wrap with vegan cheese—I’m lactose intolerant—ketchup, tomato, and a side of sweet potatoes. Or I love tacos made with ground turkey and spinach on a corn tortilla topped with lettuce, vegan cheese, and hot sauce. It’s simple, but still has a ton of flavor, so I don’t feel deprived.

Who’s making one right now?

And here’s a look at what a full day might look like for Lovato’s meals, which she shared with Women’s Health Mag:

This is definitely right in the line of the healthy but sustainable approach we shoot for within our own Nutrition Classes (Samurais, Hunter Gatherers, Monks, Minimalists, Vikings, Spartans, SuperHumans) in The Academy.

And, surely enough information for you to take advantage of, right?

Demi Lovato Workout Routine Research

I found the same answer on multiple sources, but I’ll pull the quote I like the best, which is from PopSugar:

“I work out six days a week and I take Sundays off,” she said. “Several days I’ll do an hour of cardio, and several days a week I’ll do an hour of strength training. On top of that, some days during the week I’ll work out for two hours where I’ll do an hour of cardio and an hour of MMA, or I’ll do an hour of strength training and an hour of MMA — but I don’t do that every day!”

She told another source that it may sound like a lot, but she loves working out, and it helps her overall mood.

In the same interview with Pop Sugar she followed her training comment with this:

“My favorite workout is ju-jitsu. I love training ju-jitsu. When you’re rolling with somebody, you’re constantly thinking of defending or attacking moves, so it’s kind of meditative in a way, but it’s also a great workout when you’re training — when you’re really moving around with somebody.”

Oh, and two great questions that I thought I couldn’t continue on without telling you about from the Fitness Magazine interview were:

FM: How do you work outwhenyou’re on the road?

DL: [Singer] Christina Perri is on tour with me, and we’re both huge fans of SoulCycle, so we actually brought bikes with us. Christina’s taken a ton of classes, and she tells me what to do. It’s superfun, and we usually drink a green juice or protein shake afterward and talk. It’s nice to get some quality girl time in, too.

FM: What doyoudo to motivate yourself when you don’t feel like exercising?

DL: A good playlist is crucial. Sometimes we’ll blare music at the venue where I’m performing, and I’ll run up and down the stairs or around the concourse. I also have a good team who are aware of my past health issues, so if they notice I’m having an off day, they’ll be like, “Come on—let’s go break a sweat!”

How awesome are those?

Okay, serious question now: do you think she has her own music on her playlist?

While you ponder that, we’ll make our way over to the routine now….

You can go out there and do an hour of cardio with some treadmill, elliptical, stair-master, rower, bike…etc. etc., OR you can mix and match it with some more MMA as well.
